Chapter 504 (1/2)
The fourth childe was stunned and immediately said, ”my father and mother, aren't they going to suffer? There has been no news from ah Jiu for a long time. Third brother, what should you do now?”
Xie Xuan pondered for a moment before he said, ”I'll leave for Dijing immediately. You stay in beizhou for the time being and distribute the rice you brought.”
With that, the third childe turned around and told him to have plenty of food and clothing and prepare dry food for the carriage.
”This...” Xie Wanjin couldn't help but have some helplessness and clasped his shoulder. ”Since the third brother knows that something has happened in Dijing, how can he break into the tiger's den? It's urgent to tell the elder brother quickly.”
Xie Xuan looked back at him with a cold voice and asked, ”the old emperor even recalled me to the imperial capital. Would he let his eldest brother lead the troops outside?”
Xie Wanjin was very surprised. ”The third brother means...”
”Elder brother should be on the way back to Beijing.” Xie Zhen reached out and dragged Xie Wanjin to the corner of the wall and whispered to him, ”a group of officials in beizhou have changed. Now those who are still in office are people who are serving the people of the Qing Dynasty. I ordered them to go down. If you see the fourth brother, you will see me. What's going on here...”
”I know. I'll try my best. Don't worry about it. But after you leave, I'm afraid the officials newly sent by Dijing are different from the original ones.”
Xie Wanjin is about to say that it is not a good thing for the old emperor to send someone here at this time. Most of them are greedy for merit. I don't know if they can do something beneficial to the people when they come to beizhou. Anyway, they won't be too comfortable now.
However, before he could speak, he heard Xie Yu say, ”I'll tell you to return to Beijing immediately. There will be new officials on the way. If they are not good people, there is no need to come to beizhou.”
The fourth childe took a breath of air-conditioning.
He couldn't help thinking: the third brother's words of killing people and killing people are much more implicit than his eldest brother.
If he hadn't known what Xie Xuan was like, I'm afraid he wouldn't understand what this means for a while.
Xie Yu's eyes were as black as ink and looked at the fourth childe, ”Wanjin, you have to be careful in everything in beizhou.”
”The third brother needs to be more careful when he returns to Beijing.” Xie Wanjin thought, and felt that the elder brother was the most difficult to control. He quickly added, ”if you meet the elder brother, you'll take him some.”
Xie Xuan didn't answer, but looked up at the gray sky and said in a deep voice, ”the wind and cloud has changed. It's the time when the Dragon flies nine days.”
Xie Wanjin didn't understand what the third brother said for a while. He couldn't help asking one side, ”I don't care what dragon or nine days. In short, when the third brother returns to the imperial capital, he must be careful again and again, and protect our Xie family with his eldest brother.”
Xie Xuan nodded and said, ”OK. ”
They stood on the edge of the city wall together, and the sky became darker and darker.
Strong wind and heavy rain swept through several cities.
On the other side, Xie Heng led 5000 light riders back to the imperial capital and passed through several cities. As soon as the city guards heard Xie Xiaoyan's name, they opened the city gate and lined up to meet each other.
Xie Heng walked nonstop for four or five days. When he came outside Fengling City, he saw that the city gate was closed.
The garrison soldiers stood high on the city wall. When they saw the horse coming on the yellow sand, they shouted, ”who under the city dares to lead troops to invade Fengling city!”
Immediately before the strike, he replied loudly, ”Xie Heng, king of Dingbei, should be called back to Beijing! Please open the gate quickly!”
The soldiers of the city gate looked down and only saw the young man in red and Xuanjia reining in his horse and thousands of Moyu riding in the rain. Obviously, he didn't say anything or do anything. There was an air of iron blood fighting coming to his face, which was frightening.
”Wait a moment. I'll ask you for instructions. I'll be right back!”
The guard replied and hurried to ask for instructions,
Not long.
The Imperial Guard of Fengling and several internal attendants walked to the city, and the guards stepped back one after another.
The Chamberlain at the front took the imperial edict and walked to the front. He looked down at Xie Heng and said in a sharp voice: ”the emperor has a decree that Dingbei king should remove his armor and return to Beijing without carrying a weapon or a soldier. Now, Dingbei King returns to the dynasty with all his officers and soldiers as if he were at the foot of the city. Doesn't he pay attention to the emperor's will?”
This edict is the twelfth one Xie Heng received.
Every word urged him to return to Beijing.
Hui and Hui emphasized that they wanted him to come back after removing his armor. They were not allowed to bring people or hold a sword.
